Re: Oracle Financials and IBM/AIX Platforms

We are running Oracle Applications Release 11.5.8 on an RS6000 F80 with 4
procs , 8 Gb RAM and 12 x 9.1 Gb , RAID 01 , SSA disks. Both application
and database are on the same machine. The database have almost 50 Gb and
there are aprox. 50 concurrent users , using four modules: GL , AP , INV
and PO. We´ve migrated this environment from an RS6000 F50 recently and the
performance increased a lot.

We´ve been running Oracle Applications on IBM machines since release 10.7
and the performance and scalability are very good.

I don´t know the size of your database or the number of users that your´re
planning to support , but the P650 (2-to8 way , 2-to-64Gb RAM , up to 587.2
GB internal storage) is a mid-range solution and I think it can support
high mission-critical applications easily with performace and scalability
(I don´t work for IBM :-)))) ).

Anybody running Oracle Financials on an IBM/AIX platform? I've been asked
for opinions on running the latest version on an IBM P650 platform running
AIX. This would be just for the database itself. Any suggestions for
required memory/disk? I know I need to provide more info (like how many
users etc), but I'm just looking for a thnumbs up/down on the hardware for
now.

thanks
